Anzac day sign and flag in Bishopdale

24 April 2017

View of a flag and sign at 2 Cotswold Avenue, Bishopdale on Anzac day.

"I tried my hardest to find a Bishopdale Anzac service but there wasn't one, so I decided to go to Bishopdale on Anzac Day hoping for something. I was lucky enough to come across this house; the sign on the garage says "Lest we forget, our flag our country, we will remember them." That day Bishopdale was empty, I saw nobody, I assumed a lot of people went to the service in the central city." - Conributor's note
